This is all soooo strange. My site is not getting indexed by Google. In addition, Google is not giving me any results for this URL like it does not exist. I don't want to post URL because I'm getting decent search results with MSN and Yahoo. Some facts to consider: Over two months ago, I have created and successful submitted sitemap. Google is visiting my page daily (Awstats stats for Googlebot: 177+14 hits just this month). If you search for this URL without http:// you will receive links pointing to my page. If you search for this URL including http:// you will receive "did not match any documents". If you type “site:†or “info:†before this URL you will receive "did not match any documents". I’m not an expert but also not beginner in this and have no idea what #$#% is happening. Please help!!!
It's hard to say without the url, but is the content unique, duplicate content taken from article sites or a link directory? If it's either of the last two, that is probably your problem.
if you do the two searches: site:yoursite.com and site:www.yoursite.com what is the difference for the results ?
site:www.yoursite.com in Google shows all the pages indexed. site: www.yoursite.com in Google searches for the keywords "site:", "www", "yoursite" and "com".
First of all, thank you for your advice. Results for site:yoursite.com - did not match any documents Results for site:www.yoursite.com - did not match any documents Results for site: yoursite.com - links Results for site: www.yoursite.com - links Page is new and I did not copy any articles. I was thinking sandbox is only related to google keywords search?
1. How long as this been happening? 2. What's the sitemap showing? 3. Check your outbound links, make sure you aren't linking to any site that has been banned. 4. Clean up your content, (i.e. no hidden text or keyword stuffing), check to see if it shows up, then submit reinclusion request.
OK, I believe I have found my problem. My robots.txt file was set to exclude every search engine (User-agent: * Disallow: /). Strange that MSN and Yahoo did not find any problems with that.
